The Fine Print


When looking into our relocation to Oak Bay, I just had to make sure they allowed chickens. It's been my dream for a while now, so I wanted to make sure I still had that option. Indeed I found out chickens are allowed in Oak Bay!! That's all I read. It was good enough for me. However I never thought of the restrictions a municipality could impose on raising hens. After a bit more research I found that our lot is just a bit too small for the bylaws!!! only another 500 sq. ft. and we'd be good! Upon further research I came across this post, about a man who was appealing some of the bylaws regarding chickens. I also found that one council member in Oak Bay wanted to reduce the minimum lot size for chickens!!! I am now in contact with the fellow with the hens, and looking to approach the Oak Bay. One day I'll be getting my hens! One day!
